“As a Funeral Singer, I have always sung with sincerity and compassion. I love what I do and I pride myself on delivering a very high standard of service. My ethos is that preparation is the key to ensuring that in my role as a Funeral singer, I will always give of my very best.”

“Marianne Lihannah recently sang at the funeral service for my dear mother. Not only did I find her to be the consummate professional in finalizing arrangements, she showed compassion throughout and I felt as if I had known her for years. Marianne's voice is both soothing and uplifting at the same time. She sang with passion, emotion and sensitivity. Most importantly of all..... my dear mother would have loved it!” Gail Meredith Vaynor, South Wales

“I don't think I will ever forget the sound of Marianne's stunning, soaring voice as she sang Ave Maria on the occasion of my mother's funeral. It has played through my mind many times in the days following and I can still hear her beautiful tones now. Her voice filled every corner of the church and captivated everyone present. Marianne has a wonderful, understated elegance; her voice truly expresses all the many emotions one feels at such a difficult time whilst bringing a sense of gentle calm and the utmost dignity to the proceedings. Marianne's professionalism is unquestionable, her attention to detail impeccable. We feel extremely blessed that our search for a singer led us to Marianne. Many times, thank you.” Anthony Cooper, Kingswinford

“What a truly amazing voice you have. Singing ‘Ave Maria’ at my grandads funeral was simply stunning. It was so moving and brought tears to everyone's eyes. It made the day so special and we will cherish the memory forever. I can't recommend you highly enough. Very helpful and organised even with only days to prepare. A true Joy.” Louise Figgett, Tewkesbury

“After asking Marianne to sing ‘Ave Maria’ at my mothers funeral she mentioned she would do a rehearsal at the church prior. My sister and I were filled with emotion as we heard Mariannes voice fill the church as we approached the church door. That amazing feeling hearing her voice comforted us that it would be a special day, - and it was.”

“Thank you Marianne for your professional approach, sensitivity and beautiful voice.” Jeremy Bisset

“Marianne I cannot thank you enough for making my Mums Funeral at Avening Church in February this year so very special for us. It was a very difficult time and you were so accommodating with all the date change and so compassionate, it was like having you as part of our family. I would recommend Marianne every-time for such a service. Her voice is beautiful, she sang with such passion, emotion and sensitivity.

I am very pleased I met you Marianne - thank you so very much” Maggie Kington, Gloucestershire

“In spite of the difficult time you have had lately; the pressure wasn't showing at all in your performance. You were professional throughout (so you hid it very well). It is so difficult also sometimes to be able to distance oneself from all the emotions present from the family and friends - again well done - you managed just that.

And to that end I would like to say how grateful I was for your part in the ceremony; you sang under difficult conditions - very strong emotions of bereavement, time restrictions and a strange environment.

You did brilliantly - Yes, I am starting to collate a list of professional people that can help support families during a final farewell funeral - and your name is among that (at the top I might add). Please be assured that if I am requested to provide a singer in future you will be my first choice.” Rob Rowe, Civil Funeral Celebrant

“It was with great pleasure that I came across Marianne's singing some years ago and was struck by the wonderful timbre of her voice and her vocal ability. Her modest demeanour belies a total commitment to the performance of her music where her sincerity shines through.” Ron Taylor, Cheltenham (Singer with more than 40 years experience)
